Syria Strike About Time

President Donald Trump’s strike on Syria [April 7, Page 1, “U.S. Missiles Strike Syrian Base”] was better late than never. He should follow it with more, not less, intervention.

Rather than worry about why he did it, we should be concerned that neither President Barack Obama’s administration nor Trump’s own actively engaged with Syrian President Bashar Assad long before this. To hear the armchair strategists talk, you’d think the estimated 300,000 Syrian dead in their ongoing civil war didn’t matter.
